Myanmar is similar to Thailand in many ways. In the Irrawaddy River Valley you can see floating markets that look just like those in Thailand. In the villages they play a game called chinlon which is the same as Thai sephat takgor. They also have a form of boxing which is similar to Muay Thai. There are many temples in Myanmar, but usually with pagodas and large stupas (jedi). There are many Buddhist monks. Most people outside Yangon live in small villages where they farm rice and other crops.
